The Fringes of Hollywood

by Mary Lou Taylor

Grace Cavalieri says of the "The Fringes of Hollywood" Mary Lou Taylor's poetry chronicals pop culture in America; it moves back and forth across time like a novel, from the hand of a master writer whose world is real enough to occupy.  Taylor's past is not the end of an era but one where it all begins as we read and re-read to make it our own.

The "Fringes of Hollywood" takes us on a poetic journey through tinsel town at the height of it's glamour and intrigue. We follow the writer, beginning in the 1940's, when she travels as a young girl from the Midwest into a lush new world of California. Even a trip to the local supermarket takes us on exotic hues with "artichokes uncovering their secrets like Salome's Veils", Papaya.. "its color the warmth of the setting sun", avocado... "its skin peeling away like an opening curtain."...
